I did this the first time through too actually. It was a little frustrating to me that I had to plan ahead before going to jail...
If earlier saved games really are not an option, then as far as I know no, there really isn't another option. They say you're never supposed to delete a map file while you're in the map... has anyone actually ever tried it?

Really? I thought there would be some editor or something that savvy-people use...

Well, it was good while it lasted. I don't have the patience to play again through a chunk of the game I just played.

Yeah. That trap seems oddly out place within the overall design of the series... But be that as it may, you are definitely stuck. If you prefer not to load a save, editing your save game is the only option. Xolotl and SpottedShroom have developed some pretty awesome editors for each game. Unfortunately the information is pretty hard to find in the forums. Here is a link to the latest version I believe:http://dx4.org/~ekenda2/eschalon_utils_1_0_2_setup.exe

There was a discussion about Atrox Deep and how to avoid getting trapped in there. BW and I had completely different methods for avoiding it with his being the permanent one of exploding a keg of powder to blow the gate away. But everyone assumed that players would have a save from before they got trapped.

You had the same problem in Book 1 with having a Repository where you couldn't get out unless you had a portal spell set up in advance. BW made the portal spell useless in Atrox Deep in Book 3.

Atrox Deep has obviously been designed poorly and is a good example of how inconsistent Basilisk Games are when it comes to support. People shouldn't have to use a third-party tool to fix something like this.

Did none of the alpha or beta testers not bring this up? Or did Basilisk Games simply brush it aside like they have with so many things?

lol why are you bitching all the time? Even Baldurs Gate had bugs like that. I dont remember the details but something about killing both the white dragon and the daemon gets you stuck in dark elf fortress or something similar.
